The estate of Tupac Shakur honored the late rapper yesterday (September 13) with a digital art gallery. The date marked the 19th anniversary of Tupac’s death.
The gallery was announced last month and was held as a contest. Fans submitted their original artwork of Tupac and the family selected 20 pieces that were featured on the rapper’s Twitter and Instagram pages.
The artists came from the states of California, New York, Delaware, Nevada, Colorado, and Florida, and the countries of England and Australia.
The art featured various portraits of the rapper. Some are colorful and some are black and white. One has the lyrics from “Ghetto Gospel” written around his face. Another image shows the rapper imposed on a book cover for Niccoló Machiavelli’s The Prince. Tupac called himself “Makaveli” after reading the Italian philosopher’s works in prison.
Below are selected images from the gallery. To view the entire collection, visit Tupac’s Twitter or Instagram pages.

Ja Rule kicks the shit out of 2pac in lyrical quality.
Eat a dick,Dan.
Doctors Orders….. Go Fuck Yourself… Take two of these in the morning, overdose and kill yourself
So much hate defending a guy that doesn’t even know you exist and wouldn’t give a shit about you even if he was alive.
Go swallow another sausage boy
Ja Rule better than Pac lyrically? LOL not in a million years. Ja Rule spent his entrie career trying to emulate Tupac and still sucks ass as a rapper.
The level of love and/or hate which is just a form of admiring anyway is great for the legacy of 2Pac… R.I.P to the goat
R.I.P Tupak
You are all a bunch of losers. All this idolatry of a rapper thug is hilarious to those of us who have jobs, pay taxes and actually raise the children we beget (do you know what the word “beget” means?).
